Odd behaviors
I have been running along prety much trouble free with VP11 until my last project. It seems that after getting things right on the timeline that I have to quit the application after saving. If I go right to render it will fail every time. Curious to know if this is a bug or what. I’m doing 1080×1920 60I AVCHD using a custom template.
I still get the occasional crash when I call up BCC7. Crashes once and then it is good to go. Same with New Blue Titler Pro now and then. It is as if it has to squeeze through a tunnel and gets stuck for whatever reason. My save button is about wore out….

Ahhh Hinkel,
What is there to say….Im still using Vegas 10.0e and BCC7
is flawless along with everything else…and i stay away from
Titler Pro.
I find it unacceptable to be working where your creativity is
most needed and has to be interrupted by crashes and the fear
of it…..No one should have to go thru all of that.Steve Rhoden

I’m OK with it, Steve, as long as I remember to throw up the walls. I’m just curious to why these things can’t play together all the time. For the most part I have nowhere near the problems that a lot of people have reported. Then again I don’t have all the tools (ability) to really get under the hood to see what this thing can do.

ok…As with all things ive seen over the years in the editing
field, the tools will get better as the months roll by, as will
some will fall by the wayside.
Vegas however is poised to get better than the top dogs we have
today.Steve Rhoden

Interesting you should say that, Steve. I have Adobe CS5.5 installed and hoping to get around a Vegas pro 11 issue in Premiere, nearly went nuts. Vegas interface is a dream. I just wish they stopped mucking around with 3d and spent time and money on the rest of the code. In the pro world, who transmits/records in 3d? The big studios for cinema, yes, but they won’t be using Vegas.
Pro should be for the everyday working production house/person I would have thought.
Now see who will shoot me down and say they watch/edit/shoot #D all the time. 🙂 -
lol Phil,
The mucking around as you put it, i hope will soon come to an end.
They are gradually focusing on real world features and practicalities.
I really want Vegas to become rock solid and stable again.Another sign you can look on also that tells you that Vegas is
gaining ground, is the number of third party companies who are now creating high end plugins specifically targeted for Sony Vegas.Steve Rhoden

Maybe you don’t see 3D in your market, but I have bid on two 3D projects in the past year.

Well there you go, Stephen. Shot me down already. But you do have a bigger market place in the US, but working in the corporate field I know of no-one wanting to put their stuff out on a relatively minor (in uptake) and volatile technology. Nice to behold I grant you, but percentage-wise 3D doesn’t seem to be screaming up the popularity charts, and in the meantime I really want a good stable editing platform. I feel Sony is only trying to bolster its mistaken foray into 3D consumer gear that in this country, even with a good economy and high dollar, consumers are giving a miss to. But then again, we are all upside down here in downunderland, aren’t we? 🙂

Well, if Sony Creative Software is making a “mistaken foray” into 3D, so is Panasonic, JVC and a whole bunch of 3D TV makers and movie production companies.
In fact, two years ago at NAB, 3D was the predominant feature from all of the manufacturers on the show floor. So while you aren’t seeing demand for 3D doesn’t mean it isn’t coming.
As a side example, I have been Blu-Ray capable for a couple of years. I’ve just been waiting for a client to ask for it. It never occurred to me to offer Blu-Ray. I do now, and its about 5% of my business. I plan to rent a 3D camera this spring so that I can show some samples and start promoting 3D capabilities.
On 3D – I think it’s no mistake, but rather a strategic move by Sony Creative Software to position Vegas as the tool of choice for the people who are buying the 3D cameras from Sony Style. (A separate company that just happens to be owned by Sony Corporation). Consumers are buying the 3D cameras because they have a 3D capable TV – likely a Sony. People buy the 3DTV to watch the movies from distributors like Sony Entertainment. (A separate company that just happens to be owned by Sony Corporation).
According to James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar), all film and TV will be filmed in 3D within the next 5 years. He says there should be 100% adoption of 3D in cinemas in the next 3 years, and that home 3D will increase once glasses-free technology improves. This year’s NAB is taking reservations for seats in their “Content Theater”. All 3D.
According to StudioDaily.com, we (consumers) will be losing small theaters in the next few years as all major releases will be delivered digitally, and the theater chains who have invested in digital projectors have been buying 3D – because that’s what they expect from the distribution channels.
Successful Japanese companies plan ten years into the future. Not next week, like most American companies. Like it or not, 3D is coming. I plan to be ready.

Well put Stephen. But that JVC et al jump on the 3D bandwagon doesn’t prove much except each wants to cover the other. That said, yes, 3D may well become everyday… but with what technology. And yes, the big studios will certainly embrace 3D as in a big theatre it is close to real life. Possibly for home theatres too. However, on the small screen (is 55″ small now?) I can’t help but wonder. Small screen 3D is not the real life feel of the big stuff, and looks more like a moving diorama. Anyway… the small percentage of 3D work won’t pay my bills. Lets agree to disagree… and when we are older and grumpier, see who was closer to the mark – if we care by then. I like the force of your argument though!
Meantime.. I just wanna pwogwam that woiks.Cheers
